Hello: My Linux box runs BiT 1.3.3-4, the latest version available in the repositories. [code] $ apt list | grep installed | grep backintime --- snip --- backintime-common/stable,stable,now 1.3.3-4 all [installed] backintime-qt/stable,stable,now 1.3.3-4 all [installed,automatic] $ [/code] Have used it for the longest time, saved my files more than once. Thanks to all those involved for that. That said, I have something to which I need some insight into: 1. I understand that BiT will use whatever available keyring it finds. 2. For reasons, it turns out that my system has more than one keyring available: [code] $ apt list | grep installed | grep keyring --- snip --- debian-archive-keyring/stable,stable,now 2023.3+deb12u2 all [installed] devuan-keyring/stable,stable,now 2023.05.28 all [installed] gnome-keyring/stable,now 42.1-1+b2 amd64 [installed] python3-keyring/stable,stable,now 23.9.3-2 all [installed,automatic] python3-keyrings.alt/stable,stable,now 4.2.0-1 all [installed,automatic] $ [/code] I'm not a fan of gnome 'anything' and as a result I only have one gnome application installed: gnome-disk-utility, which is actually quite handy. Recently, wondering if gnome-keyring was used by gnome-disk-utility, I asked aptitude ... [code] $ aptitude why gnome-keyring i backintime-common Depends python3-keyring i A python3-keyring Depends python3-secretstorage (>= 3.2) i A python3-secretstorage Recommends gnome-keyring | libkf5wallet-bin (>= 5.97) | keepassxc $ [/code] ... only to find out that it is (indirectly) used by backintime-common. ie: backintime-common >depends> python3-keyring >depends> python3-secretstorage >recommends gnome-keyring |or| libkf5wallet-bin (>= 5.97) |or| keepassxc As libkf5wallet-bin seems to be a transitional package which can be removed (if it were installed), the only options for BiT would be gnome-keyring or keepassxc. But it happens that if I purge gnome-keyring, BiT won't work and keepassxs is not installed. Q1: why are gnome-keyring and keepassxc 'recommended' packages and not dependencies? Just asking, seems odd. Q2: how could I safely (and not breaking anything) switch from gnome-keyring to keepassxc? The less gnome I have, the better. Thanks in advance. Best, JHM
